Jmicron eSATA controller

I am trying to use it with a Icy Dock MB881US-1S-1 SATA hard drive
dock. This hard drive dock has the option to connect to my motherboard
via eSATA. Kewl I thought.

I firstly changed the bios options to enable eSATA controller and to
use AHCI mode.

I plugged a drive in and the drive showed up in windows (7) explorer,
and I could browse the contents of the drive, although sometimes
explorer folders had a very annoying pause before displaying contents
of several seconds.

Now comes the really stink bit, I wanted to backup the contents of the
drive. I tried both acronis and drive image xml and both failed at the
point where it actually started to backup the data.

It failed in that nothing happened and eventually the operation times
out.
